Shipping Cost from New Delhi to Antananarivo

An imported vehicle capable of carrying more than ten people is subject to 20% customs duty and 20% value-added tax, while lighter vehicles are subject to a 15% reduction under the IEPA (Interim Economic Partnership Agreement). Note that the import of a disabled vehicle is exempt from VAT.

The cheapest way to ship a car is typically open transport on a multi-car hauler, exposing it to the elements but saving significantly over enclosed shipping, with further savings from booking in advance, choosing terminal-to-terminal, and being flexible with dates, or even driving it yourself for short moves. Compare quotes from several carriers and brokers to find the best deal, especially if you can wait for off-peak times or multi-car loads.

For short distances (under 300 miles), driving yourself is usually cheaper since you avoid booking a carrier. For medium to long distances (over 500–1,000 miles), shipping often becomes the more economical option once you factor in gas, lodging, food, maintenance, and time off work.
